Detectives attached to the Mushin Police Station,
Lagos State, have arrested Mr. Owolabi Fasasi for allegedly pushing Taiwo Adekoya
to the ground, and thereby causing her death.
According to eye witnesses, the deceased came to
broker peace between Fasasi and his estranged lover, Anuoluwapo Adeyemi, who
were fighting over ownership of their three months old daughter, Kausarat
Owolabi, when she was pushed.
Fasasi was alleged to have come from his home to
Adeyemi’s on May 1, screaming that he came to take his baby.
Fasasi allegedly refused to explain why he wanted to
take the baby away, and when people tried to pacify him, he grew violent. In
the process, he pushed Adekoya, who was among those that came to pacify him.
The woman fell down and because unconscious. She was rushed to hospital and
confirmed dead. The deceased, incidentally, was the boss of Adeyemi.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), Bala Elkana said that the matter was reported at Mushin Police Station
on May 2, by Adeyemi.
Elkana added: “Anuoluwapo Adeyemi, living at Itire
Road, Mushin, reported at Mushin Police Station that on May 1, while having a
discussion with her husband, Owolabi Fasasi, who came visiting, as they live
apart, he started threatening to go away with their three months old baby,
Kausarat Owolabi. He did not explain why he wanted to take the baby away. People
around made frantic efforts to pacify him but he refused. He kept on shouting
and threatening violence, insisting on taking the baby away. Tragedy occurred when
he was dragging the baby to actualise his threat. He pushed the boss of the
child’s mother, Taiwo Adekoya, who was one of the peace makers and she became
unconscious. The victim was rushed to hospital, but was later confirmed dead.
The corpse has been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy and the suspect
arrested.”
Similarly, the Police also arrested a spiritualist over
the death of a woman, who died during childbirth in a church.
The matter was reported on May 4, at Oke-Odo Police
Station by Olaloye Jolayemi, residing at Ologundudu Street, Aboru.
Jolayemi explained that Seun Olorunto, 39, died
after she was delivered of a baby boy by Prophetess Evelyn Owoleke, at a Cherubim
and Seraphim Church, located at Bayo Ajao Street, Aboru.
It was gathered that Homicide detectives visited the
scene and found the woman in a pool of her blood. The Police believed that the
woman died as a result of loss of blood, caused by birth complications.
“The corpse has been removed from the Church to
General Hospital Yaba for autopsy. The infant has also been taken to hospital
for medical examination and care. The midwife has been arrested and moved to SCID
for further investigations,” said Elkana.
